Super cool vibes, great cocktails, and their French fries are top tier. Their menu changes seasonally based on produce availability
Distillery Pub Columbus Ohio | High Bank Co.
The food is so authentic and delicious. Great for a date night or a night out with friends! The ambiance is so classy but not overly stuffy.

So many fresh vegetables, the sauces are divine, the fries and pita are amazing. Can't say enough good things about Brassica!

The north market is such a fun place to explore! So many different kinds of food from pizza and bakeries to pierogis and a meat market, there's truly so much to find!

West Side Market
So many great hikes and stunning views at Mohican State Park!
Mohican State Park
They offer "pick your own" flowers for a few weekends throughout the summer! So reasonably priced and a great variety of beautiful flowers

While it is a wedding venue some weekends, they also have a market, vendor booths, a café, and offer different festivals throughout the year including a sunflower festival and strawberry festival!
The Pickwick Place
You can't visit Ashland and not stop at Grandpa's Cheesebarn! They have as many cheeses that you can think of and more! You can get free samples of any of the cheeses and they have a dessert shop on site as well. Worth the trip!
